Push yourself onto a new PB in a fresh pair of running shorts from our massive collection of running shorts for men, women and kids. The shorts pretty much felt unnoticeable, and the brief-style liner was comfortable, offering a good amount of support without feeling restrictive. These lightweight shorts use a stretchy but durable PFC-free DWR recycled polyamide and elastane fabric on the front and airy recycled polyester mesh for the back. Ahead, we will discuss the different running short lengths, how it is measured, and the different types of running shorts.

Patagonia replaced the tough, non-stretchy DWR coated 100% recycled polyester with 90% recycled polyester blended with 10% four-way stretch spandex. If comfort and storage options are more important to you than out-and-out microlight minimalism, this pair of classic race-fit split shorts from Brooks are well worth a look.Provides modesty for those who want to enjoy the benefits of compression shorts but are not confident to go out in public with them. a pair of basic shorts for your next run or something more specialised and high-tech, we've got you covered.

If you’re looking for a snug-fitting integrated brief, the liner offers the best support of any shorts we tested. For carrying small items like a credit card or some cash while running the shorts have two drop-in hip pockets. After months of testing, even years in some cases, we’ve managed to narrow down the best of the best for whatever type of running you’re into. Our lead tester had the previous version for over 5 years now, and they look just as good as they were on day one.You will find race shorts are made from lighter materials and cut to offer more ventilation where needed. Made with a polywoven fabric that’s 55% recycled polyester, the shell features NB DRY fast-drying technology, and we were impressed with its wicking and fast drying times. I’m wearing 4-inch running shorts, and because I am only 5’7’’, these 3-inch running shorts ended up almost in my middle thigh, exactly where I want them. Sometimes I go for a run, not for performance but simply to explore the city (I do this when I travel). Instead, we found the rear drop-in pocket along the waistline offered a secure and bounce-free spot for our phone, while the leg pocket was best for credit cards, cash, or fuel.
